Civil 3D 2012 has some new style features designed to improve the transfer of styles from one drawing to another. If you look on the mange tab of the ribbon, you will see the following panel.
Upon selecting the Import option, you will then be asked what template you would like to acquire settings and styles from. After selecting the appropriate template, the following box will be displayed.
If you select a given subheading such as surface styles, you will be give an option of what styles or setting you wish to bring in to your current drawing as seen below.
The purge styles option works similar to how the AutoCAD purge command works. If a style is in use, we cannot purge it. As seen in the capture below, the pop up box displays all styles that are currently not in use. It is worth noting, that you will have to run this command more than once to ensure that you purge child styles as well.
The final feature that we will take a look at today that was added to the 2012 is the replace with option. This option allows for the replacing a given style with another one on the fly.
With the addition of these new added features, we will be allowed to manage our styles and setting more efficiently than in previous versions of the software.
